Bang, bang, go the coffin nails Like a breath exhaled, been gone forever It seems just like yesterday How did I miss the red flames?
Raise these back, the days we left We braved these bitter storms together Brought to his knees, he cried But on his feet he died
What God would damn a heart? And what God drove us apart? What God could?
Make it stop, let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge It's come to this, a weightless step On the way down singing
Woah, woah
Bang, bang, from the closet walls The schoolhouse halls, the shotgun's loaded Push me and I'll push back I'm done asking, I demand
From a nation under God I feel it's love like a cattle prod Born free but still they hate Born me, no, I can't change
It's always darkest just before the dawn So stay awake with me Let's prove them wrong
Make it stop, let this end Eighteen years pushed to the ledge It's come to this, a weightless step On the way down singing
Woah, woah
The cold river washed him away But how could we forget? Gathering the candles But not their tongues
And too much blood has flown from the wrist Of children shamed for those they chose to kiss Who will rise to stop the blood We're coming for, insisting on A different beat, yeah, a brand new song
Woah A brand new song Woah, woah, woah
(Woah) Make it stop, let this end This life chose me, I'm not lost in sin (Woah) And proud I stand, of who I am I plan to go on living
(Woah) Make it stop, let this end Of this years pushed to the land (Woah) And proud I stand, of who I am I plan to go on living
